Khan Younis war die zweitgrößte Stadt im Gaza-Streifen - etwa 400000 Menschen lebten hier. In in den ersten Kriegswochen wurden es durch die Vertreibungen aus dem Norden doppelt soviel.
Die IDF hat sich daraus zurückgezogen, jetzt kamen die ersten Einwohner wieder zurück und stellen fest, dass von ihrer Heimatstadt fast nichts mehr übrig ist.
The Israeli regime's war minister announced that the regime's army forces have withdrawn from #Khanyounis in #Gaza in order to prepare for the upcoming mission in #Rafah.
PS. There are unconfirmed reports that IDF lost 21 soldiers and offices in a single day of operation this weekend.
